Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus determines that a control start condition is satisfied when there is an object in an area of a moving route of the own vehicle and determine that a control forbidding condition is satisfied when there is an oncoming vehicle which satisfies a predetermined moving condition that the oncoming vehicle moves in an oncoming lane next to a moving lane of the own vehicle and approaches the own vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus determines that the control forbidding condition is not satisfied when a forbidding cancelling condition is satisfied, the forbidding cancelling condition being satisfied when a first me elapses since determining that the oncoming vehicle satisfying the predetermined moving condition disappears after determining that the control forbidding condition is satisfied and executes the steering control when the control start condition is satisfied, and the control forbidding condition is not satisfied.
